**Alps SKCC Double Action** is a double action switch in the Alps SKCC Series.

==== Characteristics ====
The switch follows the general characteristics of the SKCC family, consisting of an upper and lower housing, [[:terminology:contact_module|contact module]], [[:terminology:stem|stem]], and spring. 

However, there are many additional parts and changes. The top and bottom housings are unique, fitting together entirely differently to the rest of the series. There is a flat blister switch as the second stage at the bottom of the switch, similar to that seen in [[switch:alps_skcp_double_action|Alps SKCP Double Action]]. Feedback for the second stage is produced via a leaf spring on top of the top housing that is pressed by the slider at the very bottom of the travel.

==== Additional Information ====

There is a [[https://wiki.keyboard.institute/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=switch:de3308989a1.pdf|German patent for the switch]] which contains some information. It is as yet untranslated, but drawings show it to clearly be this switch.
